I had to stop what I was doing to run that through my head to make sure I had heard everything correctly.
That's from Blazing Saddles

"Mate you look just like Heath Ledger! Before he died obviously..."

Still unsure about that one. He said it was a compliment after but... he was also kinda drunk.

Try complimenting someone with brown eyes. AS the only brown eyed person in a group of blue eyed friends we tried to come up with ways of doing this.

Obiously for blue you have the ocean similie but whats brown thats good, and isnt edible. Seriously. In the end ben came up with
"Your eyes are as brown as a.... stick?"

Your hair is thin
You look like your dog
You're hairy

all of these were compliments, not insults (to be fair, my dog IS adorable)

A couple of people have said my face smells nice. And an ancient teacher at my school saw my Pink Floyd badge and said, "You should be middle aged."

"You have a cute butt."

While I suppose I do have a cute butt, it was still very weird at the time.

I'm male by the way.

hahahaha, superb, but I foresee a problem, the French don't accept dollars.
They will in the future!

TIME PARADOX!

OT: My ex-gf was obsessed with my belly! She kept saying it was pretty and kissing it.

I assume that is a complement that I should be proud of?
If it involves her mouth going below your belly button... then sounds good to me ;P

OT: I love back handed compliments. They are always sper of the moment things to I can't think of anything at the moment :(

"You always wear the best boots"- from a student

"Damn, I wish I could lift as much as you do." A male gym patron to me, a female and literally around the same time, a mother and daughter at the gym approached, "You're an inspiration to us both."

Both comments were after them observing me using the leg press, a machine I can lift a fair bit of weight on. Doesn't take much to inspire people, I guess.

"You're like a muffin to a kid with a diabetes, and I mean that in a good way."

Eh... W-What?!
Delicious and deadly.

Yesterday an old friend returned to work after a year in a foreign country. I didn't recognise her and actually asked her why she was talking to me.

When she cleared up my confusion I said:

"Oh my god, you look completely different!

You look really good!"


I really hope she didn't take that as an insult.

I have a literary stalker at my mums work. She likes to find out exactly what I am reading and then read it because I have "good taste". I guess thats a compliment.

Probably the weirdest compliment I can remember right now was: " You know how every person looks like some kind of animal? You look like a cat. Thats not a bad thing." *Wink*

I also once got "You don't think like other people". It was meant to be a compliment. I guess I kind of get it. :)

I do suspect my drama teacher was trying to loosely quote that, yes.
